Extremely polite and knowledgeable. He doesn't lie to you when he doesn't know the answer either. For the price, you're definitely getting someone who knows what they're doing and his reports are fairly extensive and easy to sort through. read more

Our only regret in hiring John Brady with Brady Property Services is that we didn't find and hire him sooner. John gave us a competitive estimate in mid-2022 to renovate a hallway and half bath - a project delayed by budgets and the pandemic for about 4+ years. We set a start date of early January 2023 and John began his work. We found John and his colleague to be extremely professional, prompt and thoughtful in their work. What's more - John asked questions and verified details with us as he went. There was no assuming what we might want, and he offered helpful ideas and recommendations. Working in a fairly tight space, John and his colleague were respectful of the fact that I work from home and, although construction noise is unavoidable when tearing down walls and what have you, they were not intrusive or blasting loud music as they worked. I sincerely appreciated their professional manner and dress because my mother lives with us and I am keenly aware of how strangers in the house might make her feel uncomfortable. They were so polite and respectful of her and my family. That cannot be said of all contractors. Now, the work quality: I'd rate it excellent or better. John took great care to ensure the quality of the work and materials would meet or exceed our expectations. He even found a better solution for some cabinets for us that matched the style we wanted without impacting the budget. The drywall work was excellent. He managed to match and/or mirror some intricate moldings to exactly what we hoped for. John also stayed late once or twice because he wanted to make sure the quality of the work was also up to his high standards. Prior to hiring John, we had another company work on a basement renovation. The comparison was like night and day. The company handling the basement took too long, cost too much and the quality of both the work and the workers was not good. Brady Property Services was a study in contrasts with John's work completed in a timely manner, staying within a reasonable budget and producing outstanding quality in the work itself. We have more projects to complete, and John will now be our first call for all of them. I highly recommend him. read more

My wife and I hired John to build a deck for us this past July. Out of the three contractors we contacted, John gave us the most reasonable estimate by a substantial amount. The deck he built for us is amazing. John certainly lived up to the Brady Property Services motto of Attention to Detail. Thanks again John. Mike H. read more

John was excellent and extremely thorough when we had him inspect our 100+ year old row home in Manayunk. He even had a drone to look at the roof which I was thought was just brilliant! He not only pointed out a number of serious fixes that the house required, he was even able to provide estimates for each issue. Because of this I was able to go back and negotiate with the seller to get money back before closing. And he did this at no extra cost! He was great, use him! read more

Excellent with service and knowledge - we have come to rely on them to help us with getting quality work done and educating us about how to maintain property while they do it. Good solid folks all around, responsive, good communicators, and technical knowledge/skills are outstanding. read more

I found John on Yelp as I needed to have some flashing replaced outside. He was very timely with his response & came out within a few days to provide an estimate. He was able to come fix the flashing within a week. His care & attention to detail are really appreciated!! He also fixed a closet door that had come off the hinges. John offered to look around the house to make sure that other things were ok as well. I really appreciate his effort to go beyond what was asked. I will definitely be using John for any future projects!! Highly recommend. read more

Wow! If you're looking for a home inspection, John is your guy. I was skeptical he had too many good reviews but if you do the job well, there's no reason to complain. Friendly, professional and on time. As a first time home buyer he answered all my questions no matter how big or small and reassured me of my concerns. Easy to communicate with and received my report back quickly! Report was professional, easy to read and easily broke down recommendations and DIY tips. read more

Extremely professional and courteous. As a first time home buyer, I was nervous about the whole experience. John eased that nervousness by guiding me through the process. Not only did he respond quickly (which was helpful since I had a 35 day closing period) but he also allowed me to ask questions throughout the process. The job was very thorough and he gave me guidance on what were the most important things that would need fixed. The power even went out from a storm the day of the inspection, amongst other quirks that day, to which he was very accommodating and made sure I would still get the full inspection done once the power came back. If you are looking for a great inspector, you've found one. read more

If I could rate John a 500/5 I would. This man is quite literally the best contractor  we have ever come across.  He is attentive, thorough, knowledgeable, and treats your home like it's his own. Our issues in our new onstruction are RIDICULOUS, but now we have a little less anxiety knowing we have the worlds best contractor to call. I'm not even exaggerating this man is the absolute best. Thank you John! read more

I'm a first time home buyer and found John Brady through reviews like this on Yelp. We chose him because his rates for home, termite, and radon inspections were the most reasonable and he was also the most professional in communication. He tends to arrive early for inspections and start with the exterior first, then when we arrived he said we could follow him around and ask questions. It helped that he told us things that would be "nice to know" but would not be in the report to give us the most realistic picture of what's urgent and not. John was very comprehensive in documenting everything with pictures and we received the full report within a few hours. It had pictures, explanations, and even estimated quotes for repairs that helped us in the negotiation process. We loved working with him and asked for his help again with the re-inspection. He definitely went above and beyond in communicating with our realtor as well as the seller's contractor that was handling repairs for us, making an already-stressful process of buying a house more manageable. I would definitely recommend John Brady if you need an inspection done on your house! read more

I would recommend Brady Property Services to anyone looking for a very thorough home inspection. I can't thank John enough for his help in ensuring my fiancé and I purchased a safe home. I had the pleasure of working with John for three home inspections due to some very costly issues that were found in our first two inspections. Without John, we wouldn't have been aware of what we were getting into. Third time's a charm, though, and I'm glad this company played a role in finding our perfect first home! read more

Good work and fair prices. Brady was professional and objective.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my experience! I had a home inspection done which included radon and termite testing. John's response rate was super fast and his prices were competitive. He was early for our scheduled appointment, wore a mask, and very friendly. He talked me through the entire inspection, answered every question I had, and was very knowledgeable. About two hours after the inspection he sent the report over to me by email, which was awesome. Great service, great guy. read more

I have had two inspectors in the past couple of years and John was definJely a clear winner between the two. He was extremely helpful giving real time advice and perspective while he was inspecting the house. That in itself gave me knowledge of how to look for future investments.

John was extremely professional in conducting the inspection of Kevin and my new property. Following the inspection, he was gracious in providing us his expertise when we had followup concerns and questions. Would highly recommend his services! read more

I was on an urgent timeline, yet John Brady was immediately responsive and prioritized my schedule. He arrived early at multiple inspections and was already examining the property with the latest technology. From the roof to the crawl space, he climbed high and low to inspect every hidden corner. He is readily equipped with tools and instruments to assess the house for any structural, electrical, or plumbing deficiencies. John is also extremely detailed as evidenced by his full reports. Within his notes, he also provides photographs and diagrams to support his findings. I also appreciated his grading of findings; for example, issues that were urgent safety hazards to address, followed by less concerning issues, such as recommended improvement projects or cosmetic fixes. Throughout the inspection, he allowed me to follow him and learn through his process; he explained every topic and answered any question. After the inspection and report, he was still available to discuss any other questions or concerns by email and telephone. Overall, I highly recommend John Brady for home inspection and property services; he is an exemplary professional, very fastidious with his work, and a trustworthy individual in your home. read more
